Have the Thief games aged well? I played Thief 1 many moons ago and pretty sure I liked it. Is there one game in particular worth getting?

My profile page was unbelievably awesome last night.

I kicked some dude from a Killing Floor game and kept playing right....

Exit game, you have 170 new messages at the top of Steam, LOL.

To my surprise the number kept rising too. 171, 172, in real time.

It was the guy manually spamming me, and he was nice in his texts, "payback for kicking me, spam love, etc etc."

I let him do it for a while, then banned him but 31 pages and 185 messages later lol.

I think it's already been on sale, but what's that side scrolling survival horror like game - I think the character wheres a mask? Has an interesting art style.

Damn, I only played 5 hours or so of Tropico 3, but I enjoyed it. Still have a ton of play I could get out of it though, and seeing Tropico 4 @ 80% off tempts me. Somebody tell me it isn't worth it and to just enjoy the game I already have!

Wouldn't letting him manually spam you for the entire night be a worse punishment?

I understand that.

I'm just not willing to invest all that time and "study" the game when everybody I find online doesn't give a shit about me or doesn't answer anything I ask.

Specially because when I know about the game and will be willing to help people, they won't fucking listen to me either - already happens all the time on Team Fortress 2 Mann vs Machine mode and Left 4 Dead.

Like I said: if you have friends that are not complete idiots (Aka, are willing to invest the time to learn the game), I can see the appeal. Otherwise...

Honestly, just pick Sharpshooter and go to town. Your main goal with that perk is doing as many headshots as possible which is pretty straightforward. A low level medic is pretty useless.
And I honestly never had a bad team of randoms in my time with this game. The basics are pretty clear in this game: you kill as efficiently as possible (headshots), you watch your back (weld doors, check your flank from time to time) and you heal others when they get low on health.

I want Bioshock 1, but I don't have any games right now to trade for it, but I would be willing to spend around $5 for a game to trade with you.

People are willing to pay for BioShock? Damn, I gave away both B1&2 a while ago :(

I regret nothing, it's nice to be on the giving end every once in a while.

And make sure you filter for only normal servers while you level up.

Ridiculous when a level one comes in on a Hard or above game. You just know you're fucked.

Bah, I've got 32 or so left in my wallet. I'm between Borderlands 2 or Dark Souls + [whatever games on my wishlist hit 5 or less].

Not that bad of a problem to have, though.

Is Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 worth 5 bucks if you only plan on playing it alone? What about that planeschaser mode, can you play against ai only there? I dunno what it is about Magic games, but every time they pop up on sale, I'm tempted to buy them but haven't pulled the trigger. Mainly being a game against real people, not sure how compelling it is just against ai.

I was reading something on Reddit about this.

That for $5 you get so much more content in 2012 version than the 2013 version, and it is a much larger community.

He said you get a greater value and a more complete game with 2012.

I don't own either game, just something I read.

I got into Magic during last winter's sale 'cause it was really cheap, like $3.75.

I'd get it if I were you. You can have fun against the AI and when you feel ready you can play against other people. People playing Magic on Steam are usually cool and polite.

Only have $10.49 left. Not sure if I should triple dip on Sonic CD or wait to buy all the games in the Summer Sale.
Click to expand...

Buy anything that's at least 75% off, because it won't get cheaper than that.

Everything that's only 50% off, wait for the next big sale.

Rinse and repeat.

You can play planechase with just AI and it's pretty great. AI in general is a breeze on the normal campaign, but get tough for the 'revenge' version. I like 2013 better overall than 2012, especially if you'll be playing mostly against AI. Unless you have friends playing it, online isn't worth it anyway.
